Title: Marriage of Mark WESTERDALE
Post by: Delboy31 on Friday 05 January 18 22:02 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the marriage of my six times great grandfather Mark Wester(n)dale who lived in Exton, Rutland. He has three sons by his wife Margaret baptised between 1689 and 1695. I am related to his second son Samuel, baptised 1691/2. I have searched most of the parishes in Rutland but hope that he might have popped over the border to Lincolnshire.
I would be delighted to have the maiden name of Margaret
Thanks Delboy31

You say Mark however I see John with a wife named Margaret for those dates

Exton PRs

8 APR 1691 JOHN WESTER S/O JOHN/MARGARET

12  Jun 1660 Samuel Westerndale s/o John /Mary

Samuel you can't read the surname and the date is 90 yrs earlier???

3 FEB 1601/2 SAMUEL  ?N----- S/O MARK/MARGARET

I see no baptisms for a child of a Mark/Margaret in Exton in the time frame and these are my own transcriptions of Exton PRs which start 1597

I can see no Mark and Margaret marrying in Exton

Greetings iluleah
Thank you for your thoughts on my request. Yes, I do have the transcript CD for Exton (and other Rutland parishes) However I have checked the actual registers against that transcript and found a large number of omissions, and errors. I do have Mark WESTERDALE bringing three sons for baptism at Exton, by his "wife" Margaret. The three sons are John 1689/90, Samuel 1691/92 & Mark 1695. Mark junior is buried in April 1696 and Mark the father is buried in July the same year. His widow Margaret then remarries at Greetham in 1696/97.
The main reason I checked the registers in detail was that there were mentions in Exton of this unusual name but some unexplained gaps in the transcript, hence the additional entries. I can send you copies of the updated transcript if that would be useful to your researches.
I did notice the 1601/2 entry but at the moment I have discounted it as being a non Westerdale family event.
Thanks again
